Best Summer Activities for Kids

Here a few interesting and exciting summer activites for kids including water relay, finger painting, treasure hunt, bubble painting and flying a kite. Try these summer activities with your kids and share your experience in the comment section below. I have also included bubble painting video at the end of this hub.

For this game, you will need 4 or more children. Divide the group into two. Next, give each group a bucket of water, empty bucket and a large sponge. Place the buckets full of water on one end of the yard with sponges. Keep the empty bucket at the opposite end. Once the game begins, each player takes the soaked sponge and runs to the empty bucket to squeeze the water as much he can. Then he runs to the water bucket and the next person takes their turn. The group with the most water in the bucket wins the game.

You can also try this game with a bucket of water, empty bucket and a large plastic cup. This game is always a great hit at parties and picnics and also one of the best summer activities for kids.

Finger painting is a great way to teach arts for kids and children. It is a kind of paint advised to be applied with the fingers. They can use their hands and fingers to paint. You can buy the six color finger paint in shops or you can make at home. Finger painting can be little messy so kids can wear old clothes for this activity.

Things you need:

• Flour or cornstarch - 1 cup
• Salt - 2 tablespoons
• Cold water - 2 cups
• Food coloring

How to make finger paint:

Transfer flour and sugar into a bowl. Stir well and keep the stove to a medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Once it starts thickening, you can turn off the stove. Divide this liquid into smaller bowls and add food coloring. Stir well and transfer into a squeezable container. Your finger paint is ready to use.

Ask the kids to trace the hands using the pencil. It is time to pull out the washable finger paints and a blank white paper. Kids can have fun painting with this mixture. They love to learn texture, color and art with the help of finger painting.

Pour some dishwashing liquid, tempera paint, water and mix well. If the color is light, add some paint. Place on end of the straw into the bowl mixture and blow until bubbles come up. Get the construction paper and pop the bubbles on your paper. Repeat this process with different colors. Allow them to dry. Kids love to blow bubbles and have lots of fun with this summer activity.

Treasure hunt is a great way to keep kids occupied for hours. It is a indoor and outdoor activity for kids.
